The Federal Army.

The annual report of Lieut. Gen p II.
Sheridan shows that the army now consists
of 2200 officers and "a 236 men. The general
states thatit is his intention to consider what
revision Unnecessary in tactics, with the view
of placing the army more completely in har-
mony with the advanced methods of con
Quoting war. "Both the drill and discipline
of the men and the efficiency of the army for
service, the general says, "would be much
enhanced by increasing by 5000 men
the present enlisted strength Of the
army, and to still further perfect the organi-
Zation of the infantry, arm two majors and
two companies should be added to each regi-
ment." The measure which would most
promote efficiency of the service" the gen
eral says, would be the passage of a law au-
thorizing the immediate retirement of those
ofiicers-about so in number--in whose cases
such action has already been recommended
by military boards, or who have for some
time been absent on account of sickness from
their commands, with but little prospect
OF ultimate recovery. Their enforced con-
tinuation on the active list, though
doing no duty, has left companies without
their proper complement of officers and
brought additional labor on others, while at
the same time depriving them of merited
promotion" The magazine gun, the general
thinks must be the arm of the future. He
suggests that the efforts Of Lieut. Zalinski in
the matter Of pneumatic guns should be en-
couraged, and strongly favors extension of
all possible aid by the general government
to the national guard of the different states,
"as they constitute body of troops that in

make vast difference in the product OF

The boiler works of Edward Kendall q

is supposed from an incendiary cause, and
much valuable machinery was destroyed:
The flames were fierce and the direction of
the wind alone saved the fire from spreading
to large number of buildings in the imme-
diate vicinity. The loss is said to be about
covered by insurance. This was the largest
fire Cambridge has known since the burning
of the Central square Baptist church in 1881.

there was some difficulty about it and they
then offered to get money for him If he
would deposit $500 with them as security for
costs, The farmer raised $500 and took it to
Chicago, and in day or two they handed
him a roll of bills amounting to $1,000. The
farmer was delighted and easily prevailed
upon to put up champagne. A suggestion
was made that he should send the money by
express. He did so and on returning home

The Worcester, Mass, steel works, employ.
ing about 600 hands at day and night work,
are shut down on account of a strike, growing
out of a notice by the company of a cutdown,
averaging about 10 per cent, in the wages Of
the men employed in the Bessemer steel
plant. The men went out in consequence of
the posting of n notice that the works
were to be shut down unless the
men consented to the reduc-
ton. The officers of the corporation say that,
in common with othe steel rail mills, they
expected to shut down anyway about the
18th OF Goth of December. They have con-
tracts enough to keep running until that
time, but the contracts are all made subject
to strikes, so the works wis suffer no serious
loss by shutting down. The reduction they
claim, is necessary on account of the increase
in the price of coal and other business rea-
sons The pay roll of the steel works is be.

The P00r LliIla Ones.

We often see children with red eruptions on
face and hands, rough, scaly skin, and often
sores on the head. These things indicate de-
PRAYED condition of the blood. In the growing
period, children have need of pure blood by
which to build up strong and healthy bodies.
If DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery" is
given, the blood is purged of its bad elements,
and the child's development will be healthy,
and as it should be. Scrofulous affections,
rickets, fever-sores, hip-joint disease or other
grave maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack of proper attention to
such cases.

The fifth error in the training of childhood
is the postponement of its moral culture until
too late. Multitudes of children, because of
their precocity, have been urged into depths
of study where they ought not to go, and
their intellects have been overburiened and
overstrained and battered to pieces against
Latin grammars and algebras, and coming
forth into practical life they will hardly rise
to mediocrity, and there is now stufing
and examining system of education in the
schools of our country that is beautiful to
the teachers who have to enforce it, and de-
structive to the children who must submit to
the process. You find children at nine and
ten years of age with school lessons

Ii children are kept in school,
and studying from nine to three
o'clock, no home study except music ought to
be required of them. Six hours of study is
enough for any child. The rest of the day
ought to be devoted TO recreation AMI pure
fun But you cannot begin too early the
moral culture of a child or on too COM
plete a scale. You can look hack
upon your own life and remember
what mighty Impressions were made
UPON you at five or six years of age. Oh,

conversation NOT 10 he influenced byit. You
say he does not understand Although much of

Will effect his immortal destiny From
the question he asks you long afterward
you find he understood all about what
you were saying. You think the child does
not appreciate that beautiful cloud, but its
most delicate lines are refected into the very
depths of the youthful nature, and score of
years from now you will see the shadow of
that Cloud in the tastes and refinements de-
veloped. The song with which you sing
